Chapter 16 I only want the throne, not favor (16)
If you ascend the throne as emperor, won’t you be drowned in spit?
"Since she can stand in that position, she can naturally face those things."
In fact, Wu Zetian was severely criticized in several dynasties that followed. Wang Fuzhi once commented that she was "unacceptable to ghosts and gods, and resented by the subjects", not to mention the obstacles she encountered in reality.
But she still became emperor.
Chu Wanqing was encouraged: "I understand."
Things went according to Chu Wanqing's arrangement, and she even became pregnant a month later.
This aroused the jealousy of countless people in the harem.
Because of Gao Min's personality, Li Hong was afraid that she would hurt Chu Wanqing, so he promoted Chu Wanqing two levels, made her a concubine, and let her live in a palace of her own.
The palace was equipped with a small kitchen, which made Huashan very satisfied.
Li Hong kept the child just to assert his sovereignty over Gao Yansheng.
Look, your child was aborted by your sister, but mine is still safe and sound.
Chu Wanqing didn’t care what he was thinking. What mattered to her was that her poison must be eradicated.
Fortunately, the dosage of chess skills he took last month was sufficient, otherwise, it would have been difficult for Li Hong to fall victim to the disease.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to sleep with the Emperor now. You can try another way." For example, inside the incense.
In Qiyi's opinion, one month's dosage is sufficient.
At that time, adding other medicines to the incense in the temple will have a better effect.
Chu Wanqing also knew that she couldn't let Li Hong's health deteriorate now, so she was waiting for an opportunity.
"You can arrange it." Chu Wanqing hasn't been in contact with the Chu family recently, but she has heard some things. Gao Yansheng has received many good news at the border, and he will be able to return to the capital in just two months.
The corners of Chu Wanqing's lips curled up in a mocking arc.
Li Hong really doesn't have two capable people under his command.
This month, she has finished watching "The Wu Zhou Dynasty" and "The Biography of Chen Shuozhen" assigned to her by Cheng Shuhan.
There has been a qualitative change in thinking.
What's lacking now is Gao Yansheng's attitude. If Gao Yansheng insists on standing on Li Hong's side...
She had no choice but to take an unconventional approach.
After watching "Wu Zhou Dynasty" and "The Biography of Chen Shuo", Cheng Shuhan arranged more courses for Chu Wanqing.
She needs to use these two months to learn military tactics and how to govern a country.
Of course, the price of the system is still ridiculously high.
However, Cheng Shuhan reached an agreement with 888 that if she is born safely in the future, she can inherit the throne here.
At that time, she can use the money she earns here to exchange for 888 currency, and then go to the next dimension to buy what she needs.
Originally, Cheng Shuhan thought that Chu Wanqing would feel tired or bored under the high-intensity study.
However, it did not.
She studied very hard. She did not have the opportunity to follow the emperor from a young age like the princes did. She could only use the knowledge here to enrich herself.
During this month, the fan painters all saw it.
Their queens' temperament and personality have become different from before.
It’s not that she’s bad, she’s just more calm. When she doesn’t speak, no one can figure out what she’s trying to do.
"Your Majesty, Shuyuan will be released tomorrow." Something that has been in the works since last month finally came to fruition today.
Chu Wanqing nodded slightly and said to Qin Yin, "You did a great job."
There was no need to rush Shu Yuan’s matter, so it’s just the right time to release it now.
And the Yun family...
Chu Wanqing's eyes darkened, and Qin Yin also investigated the matter thoroughly.
"I've been keeping an eye on Concubine Dianyun lately."
As the first concubine in the harem to have an heir, Chu Wanqing is now like a living target, being watched by many concubines.
Especially Gao Min.
Gao Min really didn't want Chu Wanqing to keep the child, and she was also looking for an opportunity to take action.
"Your Majesty, there are many ladies in the palace who have difficulty giving birth." The person in front of Gao Min whispered.
Isn’t it easy to deal with an unfavored concubine?
Others may not know, but Gao Min herself knows very well that Chu Wanqing's fate is different from that of her previous life. Whatever she wants to do, she has to consider the butterfly effect.
Gao Min was timid and unwilling to give up.
"You go down first." Gao Min waved his hand and waved the person in front of him down.
She needed to calm down and think carefully about how to get rid of Chu Wanqing's child.
When she thought about Chu Wanqing being able to get pregnant while recuperating from a miscarriage, she gritted her teeth in anger.
Gao Min wants to get rid of Chu Wanqing's child, while Concubine Yun wants to keep the child.
Chu Wanqing did not try to find out what Concubine Yun and Gao Min were thinking. What she had to do now was to welcome Shu Yuan back to the palace.
Chu Wanqing stood at the palace gate, waiting for Qin Yin and Hua Shan to come back.
The two of them went to pick up Shuyuan.
Not far away, Huashan and Qinyin supported Shu Yuan, a frail man wearing gray cloth and with wounds all over his face, as he walked towards Chu Wanqing.
Looking at Shu Yuan, who was already weak, Qi Yi's face was filled with anger.
But he also understood that being alive was already very good for Shu Yuan.
This is most likely related to the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Your servant greets...Her Majesty." When Shu Yuan came back, Qin Yin and Hua Shan had already told her what happened after she entered the Ministry of Punishment.
Knowing that his wife was no longer the queen, Shu Yuan did not show any regret.
Ever since their queen took the throne, the emperor had been planning how to kick the Chu family out.
But she didn't expect that their queen would risk her life to survive.
Before she entered the Ministry of Punishment, she had already taken charge of all matters, so as not to give her mother any handle, but she still made a mistake.
They ignored their queen's determination to die for the Chu family.
"Get up." Chu Wanqing looked at Shu Yuan, who had become skinny in less than two months, and her eyes were full of heartache: "You have suffered so much."
Chu Wanqing felt guilty towards Shu Yuan.
Shu Yuan knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, what you are doing now is very good."
No need to feel guilty.
Shu Yuan was brought back to the bedroom, and Qi Yi handed Shu Yuan the bowl of medicine that had been prepared long ago.
Shu Yuan didn't ask and drank the medicine directly.
The four palace maids returned to her side again, and Chu Wanqing's anxiety eased a little.
Shu Yuan looked at the empress, whose temperament was completely different from before, and knew that after this disaster, their empress would pick herself up again and would not let anyone take advantage of her again.
"I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just received some new incense?" Chu Wanqing said to Qi Yi.
Qi Yi lowered her head and said, "I have already contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs and requested Her Majesty's favorite flavor."
The scent of Chu Wanqing's incense never changes year round, and everyone in the harem knows it.
"It should be lighter. I can't stand strong smells lately." Chu Wanqing's words made Shu Yuan's eyes flash with surprise.
She was smarter than the others and knew what their queen was going to do just from a few words.
She tactfully didn't ask.
"yes."
After Chu Wanqing finished speaking, she asked Shu Yuan to go to the room to rest and wait until she recovered.
Shu Yuan didn't force it. With her other sisters around, she didn't need to worry too much.
only--
"The Queen suddenly remembered the God of War of the Gao family." Qin Yin said this when she helped Shu Yuan back to the room.
Shu Yuan's eyes widened slightly: "Are you serious?"
